Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend up to $2 million on robot “dogs” to assist its agents' operations, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding document. A funding document posted to DHS's Acquisition Planning Forecast System on Thursday said the agency could spend between $1 million and $2 million on...
Two Trump administration officials are calling for an independent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) investigation into the government's response to the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment — which caused toxic chemicals to spill into the town. In a joint Friday letter, Vice President JD Vance and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin asked the EPA’s acting inspector...
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) walked back its move Friday to advise its journalists not to refer directly to Al Qaeda's Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the U.S. as an act of terrorism — guidance that garnered widespread criticism from political leaders. In an internal memo this week first reported by The Toronto Sun, CBC’s...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked promotions of four Army officers picked for promotion to one-star rank, some of whom have ties to top Army generals the Pentagon chief ousted earlier this year, The Hill has learned. Some of the officers pulled from the list have links to former Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Randy George, who...
In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln announced he was suspending the most basic of civil rights: the right of habeas corpus, which prohibits the government from imprisoning you without charges. When a court ordered the federal government to release an unindicted U.S. citizen, Lincoln simply ignored the order. The Bill of Rights and the courts were […]
Karen Bass is the unpopular Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, where a recent poll found her favorability rating languishing at just 31%. She is currently fighting to keep her job for another term, battling a city council member from the far Left while being challenged from the center by former reality television star Spencer Pratt. […]
The United States has more pressing matters than fixing Europe, but Americans cannot afford to leave Europeans unsupervised. Europeans resent American supervision, but they expect the U.S. to protect their interests, whether they fit with American interests or not. These are not new problems. They were there in 1919, when President Woodrow Wilson got lost […]
It’s easy to blame the politicians. Ask anyone, and they will tell you that Congress is full of cowardly, venal shysters. If that is true, what makes them that way? They are, presumably, ordinary human beings before they get elected. So what is it about asking their fellow citizens for support that turns them into […]
Even as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia compete across the Middle East and Africa, their security establishments are moving in lockstep with Israel against Iran. In late March, as Iranian missiles rained across the skies of the Gulf states, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held secret talks with Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed […]
It is no secret that Americans are not the healthiest populace in the world. We are overweight and don’t always make the best food choices. I am a libertarian-leaning Republican who does not like the government telling me what I can and cannot eat or drink, yet I support the dietary guidelines released by the […]
Treatment breakthroughs mean nothing for rare disease patients if they cannot access them. When you are living with the death sentence of a terminal illness, it can often feel as though nobody is listening. This is why I traveled to Capitol Hill this week to visit senators on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, […]
People usually associate conspiracy theories with the fringe political Right. The mainstream Left is doing its best to change that narrative. According to a new YouGov poll, 42% of Democrats believe the 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump was staged — despite him being shot in the ear on camera. That is […]
Some may view the military as just another job, but not many vocations involve living, eating, and sleeping around one’s coworkers. I remember many nights in my rack, with dozens of other men in their own bunks. Some snored. Others talked in their sleep. Soldiers get used to it, but it’s a strange phenomenon that […]
Recently, I had a conversation with a rabbi who runs a synagogue in Southern California. The language and idiom of show business permeates that part of the country — everyone in the Los Angeles area, it sometimes seems, has a connection to the entertainment industry — so it didn’t surprise me when he told me […]
The chemical distribution industry is no stranger to global crises. When instability flares overseas, it rarely stays contained. It ripples outward, touching American industries, workers, and consumers alike. Today, as conflict in the Middle East disrupts global commerce, those pressures are once again reaching our shores, adding another layer of stress to an already fragile […]
The Democratic Party wants voters to believe the border crisis created by President Joe Biden was an accident that Democrats solved in June 2024 with an executive order tightening asylum screening. This is utterly false. The Biden administration worked hard with the United Nations to facilitate as much migration to the United States as possible. […]
President Donald Trump’s abiding foreign policy is aptly named “America First.” It asserts that the post-World War II, American-led “rules-based order” had been accomplished. It was time to stop enriching “allies” and former enemies that had been rebuilt and were now competitors, and could, at the very least, help pay for their own defense. Bluntly, […]
